VPN providers operating in Turkey will need to get a license from the official authority according to the new regulation. Providers who don't obtain a license will be banned.
The regulation aims to put VPN services under a transparency and security framework. Licensed VPN apps will be subject to regulatory oversight to ensure compliance.
This will probably cover all user data and activity. We're waiting for future information.

Oh, great - watch this one get copied around the world real quick! (Although I'm sure some already have it such as China & possibly Russia.)

Western VPNs in China are tolerated at least for business use because it's economically profitable.
Putin cares more about being in charge than any any amount of economic prosperity.
